Back when i was seeing the waitress
I met a ghost at the diner counter
I dunno, it was three am or so -
that nevertime where tired cranky and mellow

become one weird sensation

Place of Her

This town is full of guys like you

And you're looking for someone to take the place of her

You must be reading my mail

And you're bitter 'cause she left you

That's why you're drinking in this bar

Well only suckers fall in love with perfect strangers

I Never Talk to Strangers
